I used to travel and dive extensively in Europe and the Red Sea. I blew my first underwater bubbles in the Mediterranean but to be honest didn’t really enjoy the experience. It’s only a few years later during a holiday in Egypt that I fell in love with diving. I climbed the PADI continuing education chart and worked as a PADI IDC Staff Instructor for a few years before joining the Project AWARE Team in 2000. As Project AWARE manager of the UK office and New Media Specialist I use the power of Social Media to spread the word about the threats our oceans are facing and how divers can make lasting environmental changes - one dive at a time. I work closely with the Project AWARE global Policy and Diver Engagement team to develop new and innovative ways to get complex marine conservation issues across to a wide and new audience.

Kids are known to be a tough crowd but when they love you they let you know it! Kids from Cleve House School in Bristol, UK are no different. What an amazing surprise it was when they let me know how much they enjoyed my school visit through their inspiring messages and beautiful thank you cards!

No matter where we live, the ocean touches our lives every day. It gives us food, water, commerce, and recreation. It even provides some of the medicines that heal us and the air we breathe. It gives us oxygen, rain, food, excitement, joy, wonder, mystery and so much more.

“Nothing better illustrates our throw-away lifestyle and waste problems than plastic. It is everywhere. The production, use and disposal of plastic has become one of the most serious environmental and human health problems facing us today.” - Raw Foundation
